Sure, though that kind of contradicts for me the idea of being able to use fast lenses / faster than SLR lenses. Because you would need to step down for focusing first and then composing through the viewfinder.... right?
You don't NEED to use the optical VF, it just makes framing easier. It gives you best of both worlds.

After my first visit with a new ophthalmologist, she commented she was surprised I could see as well as I do.
I've used 28mm lenses with M cameras that have the 28mm frame lines and ones that don't. I used a M2 with a 28 for a year just using the entire finder. I do a quick scan of the corners and that works well. A few years back, I decided to make the move to a dedicated finder for the M4 and M4-2. I use the 28 quite a bit and it makes framing easier. I have since sold both of the 28's in the photo and bought a Zeiss Biogon.
Did you ever have parallax issues using a 28 with the M2? As I understand, the entire viewfinder is effectively a 28 frame line, but you don't get parallax correction.

The one of the couple in front of the record store in Ashland was taken using a 28 Biogon and a accessory finder. I was about two meters from the subjects. I have never noticed any problems with parallax using just the finder.
